The Song of the Sea.

It has great attractions for land-locked
 mortals, and entices them 10 listen to it's
 moans to the Respondent, to it's laughter to
 the light hearted.
 But the song of the sea, or the song of those who profit by it, requires the auditors of the wave concert to attend, not in uni form, but in drees uniformly seasonable and appropriate. We set forth our claims to the present possession of what is needed on any exposed corner, or in any retired nook, in this time of enjoyment and-dress. We
 have made the stock full to fit, to meet all demands. What is honey to one is vinegar to another, and therefore we have many styles of fabric and suit. and we have all that any clothing house has and perhaps little more-lower prices.
 The boys will find us ready to serve
 them as the men, and with garments as \ suitable and worthy.

| She so elI-enQeareu.
 She has the air of a victorious general who rides into captured city. Fortunately such conduct is not usual, but it is by no means impossible. Then, again, an engaged girls conduct toward the family into which she if about to enter should be most amiable and respectful Some women have but to smile l and bow to conquer the world; there are others who must study long and patiently to achieve good manner. The worst manner is born of coarse indi ference and a self sufficient arrogance. Breeding, cultivation and manners come from the heart and mind. She is the precious daughter-in-law who comes into family bringing all these as a dowry; who treats her 1utu1e family with even more clrcumspect
 noliteness than she would her own; who
 is so enchanting, so sympathetic, that the
 family wonder that fell in love, and they all
 welcome this new addition with almost the en-
 thusiasm of a lover.
 When all engagement is announced the
 family of the lover all call on that of the
 lady, The announcement should come from
 the mother of the gentleman as soon as is convenient and proper there should be an
 invitation extended by the family of the
 young man to that of the young woman. She then becomes an autocrat; everything IS re- ferred to her. She goes out with her future
 mother-in-law or sisters, and is one of them
 in fact though not in name, she can visit them at their house, but she must never
 travel alone with her lover. Our language
 is singularly diicient we have no word to
 represent fiance and iancee, "my daughters
 engaged" is very awkward phrase; 'Fmy daughters beau" is old-fashioned; "my daughters young man" is very countri6ed ''my daughters lover'' is hardly a prope, phrase, so we have to beat about the bush un- less we adopt the French word, for the sake of convenience, which we now use.
 A finance gives his finance a ring, dia- mond generally, or 8 ruby set with dia'
 monds. He may also give her sapphire or \ turquoise.

Interstate Commerce.

WASHINGTON, May 10.
The interstate commerce commission went
into secret session this afternoon They
spent several hours in an informal talk with
Albert Fink, commissioner Of the trunk lines
as TO the operation of the law and its effect
on the railroads, etc. The conference was
entirely informal. The commissioners are
desiring to get additional light upon the atti-
tude of the railroads as to the law. Fink
favored the permanent suspension of the 4th
section wherever 1t was necessary to meet
competition
In reply to Commissioner Black who asked
the commission that a special ruling be made
that should compel certain railroads which
had refused to do so, give half rate fare to
members Of the National Home for disabled
volunteer soldiers and sailors. The commits.
sion say it is without their jurisdiction to
make such an order.

In the House of Commons this evening
Col. King Harmon, Parliamentary under sec
retary for Ireland, in replying to VIM A.
Mcdonald (Parnellite) with reference to the
remarkable increase in emigration from Ire
land said that 1t should be attributed partly
to the growing want of employment in Ire
land, partly to the fear of the masses that the
new crimes act would enable the authorities
to punish persons for past violations and
partly to the fact that number of Irish peo-
pie were forced to leave the country because
of disinclination to join secret societies

MARQUETTE, Mich. May 49,
At 9 o'clock Wednesday night news was
received from camp 3. on the summit divis-
ion of the Duluth, South Shore & Atlantic
rslsosd extension, that the camp was sur
rounded by fire. timber contractor and
three men escaped through a mile of fire and
smoke, leaving 300 Italians in the camp
fighting for their lives. Every available
dish, including cooking utensils, is in use.
and the only water available is from well
and small creek some distance away. An
attempt was made to remove the sick men of
the party, but it failed. When Grolet and
his party were short distance away they
heard great shouting and saw big flames,
and believe that the camp was burned. If so
it is feared great loss of life among the panic
stricken Italians has resulted.
Forest fires are still raging everywhere.
There are no casualties. The damage will
amount to several Thousand dollars. The
Italians at camp 3, surrounded last night,
succeeded in saving their lives but lost the
camp. Several camps on the extension
we're destroyed.
